Caddell’s Laser & Electrolysis Clinic

I was referred to Debbie and had my first session today for a small tattoo removal. I can’t remember the last time I felt this scared… maybe when I had a skin biopsy years ago. I was very worried about pain and cost, knowing we wouldn’t be able to tell right away how many sessions it would take. Debbie was fantastic… I very much appreciated her not sugar coating anything and being forward about how many sessions it would take. It hurt but was over in the blink of an eye. She made sure I was ready and ok in-​between rounds (she did two passes over the tattoo). The best part is I have no doubt now in carrying forward with the removal and the cost didn’t hurt at all (huge surprise and relief). Whoop whoop!!!
Key points: hurt like hell but was quicker than I could have ever imagined (as quick as you can trace over it with a finger) and totally totally worth it.

its alright
its clean
trans friendly environment
but sometimes the wait bothers me
dont forget to bring your intertainment handy

I’ve been a client of Debbie’s for both laser and electrolysis. I appreciate her incredible attention to detail and professionalism. As a man, I initially felt a little uncomfortable looking into hair removal services, but Debbie was able to put me at ease and make this whole process, actually, kind of fun.
This is some of the most rewarding money I have ever spent on myself.

I am so thankful I found Caddell’s for tattoo removal. I psyched myself out by watching too many YouTube videos before my first appointment. Debbie was very kind, understanding and caring. She explained the process thoroughly, calmed my nerves and got to work. My tattoo is small (1″ x ½″) — session took minutes and did not hurt at all compared to my expectations. Debbie called me the next day to see how I was feeling and even followed up with a thank you in the mail. Debbie takes pride in her practice and patient’s comfort.
I highly recommend Caddell’s for tattoo removal.

I’ve had a great experience at Caddells. After 3 laser treatments on my tattoo it are fading significantly and without scaring. Amber makes the process quick and easy! Highly recommended.

Went here because of the rave reviews on Unilocal as well as the fact that tattoo shops recommend this place for tattoo removal. The office is clean and the consultation was very informative. Amber is a doll and I enjoy chatting with her while I get lasered away at– I’m a fan!

I have had two sessions so far and things are going great. Both the technicians, Amber and Bridgett are kind and knowledgeable. They don’t make any false promises. My tattoo takes up a quarter of my back and they do the whole thing in one session. So far I am pleased. Hopefully this thing will be gone within 2 years.

Zuzana has saved my skin’s life! The CO2 fractional laser and micro needling are among my absolute favorites with the best results. Very highly recommend her!

Great place. Professional and Amber really knows her stuff. Would definitely recommend for tattoo removal.

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME ANYWHERE ELSE!!! Trust me, I speak from experience, having had a horrific experience with another business in the Seattle area (their name starts with a «K,» and if you want the details my full complaint is available for your benefit on the Better Business Bureau’s website. .. despite said business’ attempt to bribe me into removing it), and consulting with many other laser tattoo removal providers.
Debbie is amazing. She is kind, she is honest, and she tells you why her clinic is the best choice with humility, grace, and tact. She and Amber are true class acts and experts in their field. They don’t do false promises or sales pitches, they don’t do package deals — they do great work on a treatment-​to-​treatment basis. When was the last time you got a hand-​written thank-​you note? Don’t remember, it’s been so long? Debbie will send you one after your first appointment. Amber also called me after my treatment to see how I’m doing (answer: much, much better than after previous treatments elsewhere. Less pain, less swelling, minimal blistering, almost no redness.)
If you’re worried about pain, you can get an Rx for topical anesthetic. Worth it, especially if you’re treating a huge piece like I am. The price per treatment is slightly higher, but if they can, they’ll go over your tattoo twice. So you get more «bang for your buck.» Also, I really cannot emphasize enough that you should not choose your laser tattoo removal provider based on who is cheapest or offers a financing deal. Really, people, it’s not a service you want to be cheap with. You do not want to deal with the consequences of inferior treatment.
Five days out from my first treatment here, I’m healing up wonderfully and looking forward to seeing the results as they develop over the coming weeks. I am confident that I’m in the best of hands, and that Amber will be able to help me get rid of this inky mess for good.

My tattoo artist actually recommended Caddell’s Laser Clinic when I was looking at removing a tattoo. I think I waited to look into tattoo removal because I didn’t want any judgment or attitude that I had a tattoo, why I got it, etc. I really like tattoos, just not the one I had. I scheduled a consultation and 1^st session (time permitting). The office is easy to get too, lots of free parking. I was met by Debbie Caddell and her nice staff. She clearly cares about the experience every person has at her clinic. I filled out some health related forms and met with a doctor — really nice woman — who went over the forms meticulously. They clearly take this seriously; my primary care physician doesn’t spend this much time with me during a visit. I was ready for a treatment. My tattoo was small, no more than 2 inches by 2 inches with black, red, green colors. Ironically, the woman that performed the treatment was fully tattooed. Love it. Amber, the technician, was very nice, easy to talk to and walked me through everything she was going to do. Now heads-​up, tattoo removal hurts. Debbie said it would and she didn’t sugar coat it. It hurts about as much as getting a tattoo, maybe a little more. However, it’s really fast. The treatment took less than 5 minutes. Of course my tattoo is small. Amber dressed the area and took a lot of time explaining the after-​care. I walked out, not in any pain and went about my day. Actually pretty easy and fast for me. I just had my second treatment, spaced about 8 weeks apart so the skin can heal. The tattoo is lightening up faster than I thought. It continues to do so as the body breaks down the ink.
Debbie called to check on me (over a weekend!) and also sent a thank you note. Really great customer service here and I highly recommend. You shouldn’t have to live with a tattoo you don’t like.

The staff here was extremely professional and nice. Amber was a pleasure and was very knowledgable with laser tattoo removal, including on her own skin. I highly recommend this this clinic.

I just want to start off saying Debbie is awesome! It doesn’t feel like a butterfly landing on your hand, but what can you expect? The first time felt like bacon grease splatter but my second treatment (I knew what was in store for me) was a piece of cake. Even the healing time was shorter. Debbie is super nice and very attentive. She even sent me a hand written thank you note after my first treatment. Who gets those anymore? It was nice to get something other than bills. Haha.
Anyways, Debbie kicks ass and it doesn’t hurt that bad. Mine has already started to fade a lot even after only two treatments.

After trying several salons and clinics on the East Side and Downtown, I’m thrilled to have found Caddell’s. It’s the best of the best with an extremely experienced and meticulous staff. Kristen, in particular, is an exceptional esthetician, with a conscientious approach and great attention to detail. Such a relief to finally find such a professional clinic/​salon and the prices are great as well!

It seems like Mindy beat me to review Missy. I have also been seeing her for years to remove some unwanted chin hairs. Over the years she has made me a true believer of the epionce skin care line. In the beginning, I wasn’t interested because it is not an inexpensive product. However, it has changed the quality of all the skin cells on my face. We were commenting on how we regretted not taking before and after shots. Missy is professional, funny, sincere and not a pushy saleswomen. She goes out of her way to accommodate you. Debbie is also very personable and willing to help out anytime when I happen to be waiting.

I found Caddells via the web for a tattoo removal. My tattoo wasn’t done well-​very deep, scarred, and blown out. Pretty much the WORST thing to get removed. Everyone is different, there are no guarantees, its amazing that tattoos can even be removed to be honest.
Jerry & Debbie have been amazing. Very informative-​they were upfront that since my tattoo wasn’t done well that more sessions would be required (12 – 14, I was told the average is 10). I’ve been to 6 and have already seen a huge difference.
Yes, it hurts. But they are very caring-​they use lots of «cooling» tactics to reduce the burn, let me cuss up a storm, and have this counting thing so its not 15 minutes straight of pain.
Clean, well-​kept office, and pay as you go-​which is unusual for tattoo removals. A lot of places make you pay for a package of 5 – 10 before.
I would absolutely recommend them to anyone-​I am going to get my hair removed from them as well!

I have been going to Missy at Caddell’s for YEARS. I can’t believe I never wrote a review. I had lost my contact details, and was using Unilocal to grab a phone number, and was astonished I had yet to do a write up. I have been going to Caddell’s even before they moved into their new space, which isn’t so new anymore. It is much nicer now that they have their own area, but you still need to go to the old reception to check in, and then walk over to the Caddell’s waiting area. The space is always clean, Missy is super friendly, professional, and as gentle as one can be with electrolysis. I have never had a bad moment or experience, and the results are night and day different. I used to have to go in all the time, but over the years, I now only visit one time a year. No more standing forever in front of my mirror trying to pluck my eyebrows! AWESOME! I actually miss going in more often, as I really liked my chats with Missy. Missy came highly referred by another friend. The price I thought wasn’t more expensive than other places. It was comparable to other companies that do this in the area. Plus, I never felt forced into doing anything beyond what service I requested. No sales gimmicks or pressure.

Just went to see Dr. Debbie for my first visit and I. Am. Thrilled. She’s lovely, polite, professional, and kind. *AND* called me after my visit to check in on me!
If you’ve got to do tattoo removal, this is the place to do it. I live in Ballard and it’s well worth the drive out to Bellevue. Oh, and PS: yep, it’s expensive alright, but nothing compared to the relief your ego will feel after being relieved of that terrible work on your body.

My experience at Caddell’s was great! I’ve been in for two removal treatments, each only taking about 30 seconds tops. There is some pain involved but considering the results it’s 100% worth it. My tattoo was small but dark and it’s already almost entirely gone! Debbie was fantastic– she talked me through the process and was extremely helpful and friendly the entire time. I’m definitely going back if I ever need any other treatments!

Forget Groupon hopping to Med Spa’s with inferior laser’s! Go see Debbie
Caddell at Caddell’s Laser in Bellevue. She’s been in the business of hair removal since the 80’s and was one of the first to have laser hair removal in Washington. Debbie know’s her stuff and I love the Alexandrite laser she uses, amazing results, no discomfort and you’ll look forward to seeing her for all your treatments. I trust Debbie’s knowledge and judgement, she has lots of integrity in this industry! Mary is also fantastic if Deb’s schedule is full. Call Caddell’s, you’ll be a very satisfied customer!
